Andrew Caballero-Reynolds | AFP | Getty ImagesPresident Donald Trump’s iron grip on the Republican Party might be starting to loosen, just a bit. The few elected Republicans who regularly cross him — including Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie and Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina — are more vocal than ever. And in recent days, daylight has emerged between the president and a handful of his top supporters…

Why does the playing surface — called a sheet — look like a giant shuffleboard? Why are the players sweeping the ice? And what are those large stones…

A group of 23 Democratic US senators sent a letter Friday to the top federal regulator overseeing prediction markets, urging the agency to avoid weighing in on pending court cases over the legality of offerings on the platforms tied to “sports, war, and other prohibited events.”Prediction markets, which sell contracts tied to the outcome of real-world developments, have exploded in popularity over the past year, attracting an increasingly mainstream fanbase eager to wager on everything from geopolitical conflicts to fashion choices to the Super Bowl.

Until last spring, I didn’t understand what the word non-comedogenic really meant; acne, however, is a language I’ve been fluent in for 15 years. Routine dermatologist appointments; a revolving door of prescriptions; even the occasional steroid injection to quiet a particularly defiant cystic pimple—tempering breakouts became less of an inconvenience and more of a long-term management plan. Despite my parents’ assurances that I’d eventually grow out of it, clear skin never arrived as a surprise bonus of adulthood. Even with a bathroom cabinet brimming with supposedly “acne-safe” products, I still couldn’t get the cystic pimples along my chin or cheek…

The first of many gifts Gore Verbinski’s latest film, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, gives you is that within the first three minutes, you’ll have an idea if it’s for you or not. From frame one, the film shoots you out of a cannon, explaining everything you need to know about the movie in rapid-fire fashion. Sam Rockwell plays an unnamed, and possibly unhinged, time traveler who bursts into a Norm’s Restaurant looking for people to save the world from a killer AI. He comes at them with a wild and awkward energy, the same energy the rest of…

Starting Friday, OpenAI will cease providing access to five legacy ChatGPT models, including the popular but controversial GPT-4o model. The 4o model has been at the center of a number of lawsuits concerning user self-harm, delusional behavior, and AI psychosis. It remains OpenAI’s highest scoring model for sycophancy. In addition to GPT-4o, the GPT-5, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.1 mini, and OpenAI o4-mini models have also been deprecated. OpenAI intended to retire GPT-4o in August, when it unveiled the GPT-5 model. But at the time, there was enough backlash for OpenAI to keep the legacy model available for paid subscribers, who could manually…
